Hi,

what happens if you replace the line: 

die "no password prompt";

[download]
with 
die "no password prompt: $! --- $@\n";

[download]
This way, you get more information on what the actual error was, if you're lucky.

And a note on your idea to store passwords encrypted on disk. This is fine, as long as you make sure that i) whoever is running the script has no easy access to said file and ii) you don't put the key to decrypt the file in the script. That's like hiding your key under the doormat but taping a notice describing where to find the key to your front door.
